I like to have a large water bottle beside me.. used to drink a lot of coffee and I started getting anxious so i switched it to a lot of water 😄
I usually have a song playing in my head when I'm in deep focus, so my body might be grooving in various ways. please tell me if this is annoying I'll try my best to stop.
Bad at making schedules/structures for projects myself, but i hugely benefit from having specific tasks to work on. HELP ME stay productive!
I don't have a semi-focused state of work. It's either unproductive and laggy or full on focus. Full on focus is more common when stressed, so thats a good thing.
Please tell me if I'm being too invasive, I like helping but sometimes i struggle to find the right balance.
The role I usually take in a team:
I like to help, but I sometimes do this too much.
I try and listen to everyone, but I sometimes get really hyperactive and loud.
Quite comfortable with presenting/speaking about projects so presentations are fun
I have realised after a few weeks of projects that I actually sometimes talk more than I listen. actively trying to do the opposite.
My communication style:
Depending on headspace, either quiet and minimal, or energetic and innovative. Always honest, and always listening. I sometimes zone off into a state of panic, when it may become difficult for me to get my point across. A break helps, or maybe even some extra patience from the listener.
What I value:
Compassion, Empathy, Maintaining communication in a relationship. I really value a good listener because I always try my best to be one.
What people misunderstand about me:
That I come into a project thinking i know more than other people. This isnt true at all.
I can also be an entirely different person when I'm feeling down, and this is misunderstood for laziness or lack of commitment. Usually I'm just mentally worn out and just need a rather long moody guitar jam
How I like to get my feedback:
Often because otherwise I start to think either nothings wrong or everythings wrong 😝
Technical strengths & weaknesses:
Good at keeping track of different parts of my code/organising it and being aware of what does what.
Flexbox and grid i'm comfortable with.. font sizing is my main css weakness at the moment.
More Interested in Javascript than design at the moment. after node week, this is still true.
Interests (programming or otherwise!):
Music! A majority of my time is spent in my bedless bedroom which has become a studio of sorts. keeps getting filled with new toys( will have to start saving more in the future 😂)
I would love to maybe make a synthesizer in JavaScript or something along those lines!
